As part of a larger collaborative project, various GLARE web materials were tested to determine their performance in a state of diagonal tension. The NACA methodology developed for aluminum alloys was checked when applied to predicting the yielding and failure of GLARE-webs. Results have shown that the NACA-based methodology can be used to predict GLARE web stress/strain reactions up to its yield point.
